Miss Rosalie Colbert is the sole heir to ruling the largest parcel of land in the Paternage. As she nears her 18th birthday, the ruling Lady of Rosalie's home,  Juvi Alessandra Dawbrick, decides it is time for her to marry. Rosalie is given just two days to find a husband. 

Rosalie's sweetheart has yet to return from his training to be a warrior. The only other suitor presented is the Lady's own son, Lord Alastair. 

Lord Alastair Dawbrick became heir to the Juvo when his older brother was turned to stone by a Silex bite. Three days later,  his mother arranges his marriage to the daughter of one of their Patronages. In one week, his life is taken from his own hands and decided for him. 

Rosalie is angry at being coerced into a marriage she doesn't want. Alastair feels trapped with new responsibilities. They want no part of each other or the life they are forced to share. When a Silex is discovered in Alastair's bed and nearly kills him, the accident of his brother's death is thrown into question. 

Can the disconnected newlyweds work together to uncover the espionage against the Dawbrick family before they become the next victims?

7 parts Ongoing Mature

In a castle veiled by the mists of Scotland, a Queens reign shimmers like a tempest's eye-a beacon of strength amidst the encroaching darkness. Beside her, Caius, the enigmatic king consort, wields his loyalty like a blade, his heart a fortress against the shadows that gather. They are bound by destiny, yet haunted by whispers of treachery and ancient rivalries. As the winter rains weave a tapestry of secrets and the cries of the past echo through stone corridors, an heir's absence becomes a thorn in their sovereign crown. To be named heir is to embrace a destiny fraught with peril and power, love and loss. In this realm where legends are born and darkness bides its time, Rowen and Caius must confront the ghosts of their lineage, the burdens of their crowns, and the unfathomable possibility of a child born from their union. The past and future collide in a dance of blood and shadow, where the line between ally and enemy blurs, and the true cost of power is revealed. Step into a world where the bonds of family are tested by prophecy, where love is both a weapon and a shield, and where the fate of the throne rests upon a legacy forged in moonlight and magic.
